Leading in and Towards More Ethnic Diverse Schools
David Jantjies, Teacher, South Africa

Leading towards more ethnic diverse schools requires a critical balance floating between the Goleman leadership styles (minus 'pace setting & commanding').
Often teachers need to make serious mind shifts in order to deal with ethnic diversity in their classrooms. However, school principals have to be extremely courageous to lead with a clear and expressed vision, democratically affiliating and coaching towards creating resonance and a common belief of a changed school environment where ethnicity is needed, respected, valued and celebrated.
